Description
The Sexual Brain by Simon LeVay explores the biological roots of human sexual behavior. It presents a compelling case that the diversity of human sexual feelings and behavior can be understood in terms of brain circuits that produce them. LeVay examines the scientific evidence bearing on questions such as why we are sexual animals, how brain mechanisms produce sexual behavior, and what determines a person's sexual orientation. The book covers a broad range of topics, including evolutionary theory, molecular genetics, endocrinology, and cognitive psychology. By exploring biological mechanisms that can be explored by laboratory science, LeVay sheds light on the complexities of human sexuality. This book is suitable for anyone with an intelligent interest in sex, offering a clear and engaging explanation of the subject.
